since character structure continues to be a point of struggle in designing my #ttrpg, i'm gonna try to get out of my own head by making characters in other games, starting with #Pathfinder2e

any other recs for games i could make characters for?

doesn't have to have the rules weight of #Pathfinder2e (in fact a variety would be nice) but it does need to be a #ttrpg where characters are defined by how they interact with the world, not how they function as a story element

In the "pick-a-class" family, Shadow of the Demon Lord has really nice character building.

Staying in the rules-heavy category, you could have a look at a point-buy system like Shadowrun or Eclipse Phase.

A career system like Traveller or Warhammer could be nice too.

Maybe also try something with freeform traits like Macchiato Monsters or FATE?
